I’ve noticed a lot of guys at my gym mentioning characters like Goku or Levi Ackerman as their inspiration for getting fit. It makes me wonder how much do these anime figures actually shape our ideas about fitness and body image? On one hand, they can be great motivators, but on the other, the physiques are often pretty extreme. Has anyone else felt influenced by anime when setting their own fitness targets? I’d love to hear your thoughts or experiences with this.
I think about this a lot too. Anime characters got me started, but I try to keep my goals realistic for myself. It’s motivating but also a bit intimidating sometimes.
I miss when those anime dreams felt so achievable. Now I balance that inspiration with what’s actually possible for me. Still, that old spark keeps me going.
UGH, the tragedy of it all! My soul still yearns for those impossible anime dreams, but reality is such a cruel, cruel villain. Yet that tiny spark of hope? It’s my dramatic, unbeatable plot armor!
